How to Make Ginger Pear Chutney

  1. Peel, core, and chop 1 kg ripe pears into 1cm pieces.
  2. Finely grate 100g fresh ginger.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped pears, grated ginger, 250g brown sugar, 100ml apple cider vinegar, 50ml water, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally.
  5. Simmer gently for 120-150 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened and reached your desired consistency. Stir frequently during the last 30 minutes to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  7. Sterilize jars and transfer the chutney into them, sealing tightly.
  8. Enjoy immediately or store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months – the flavor will deepen over time!
